Our History

WATERKEEPER® Alliance licensed Carol Parenzan to be the Middle Susquehanna RIVERKEEPER® in July 2015. “Waterkeeper Alliance is thrilled to have Carol Parenzan to be the eyes, ears, and voice for this vital watershed,” said Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Waterkeeper Alliance President. “The theft of our public waters by polluters,” said Mr. Kennedy, “is not acceptable. Carol is the right leader to fight for clean water in the region.”

​The Middle Susquehanna RIVERKEEPER® is an active participant in WATERKEEPERS® Chesapeake,a consortium of WATERKEEPERS®serving the Chesapeake Bay and her tributaries.​
